Hi,
I am building 4 x monitors the design in the link. The stage where I will be using these will 90% of the times be 4 m x 4 m so a small stage (1 for bass player, one for brass section, and 2 for vocals) The original horn in the design is 90 x 70 degress,isn't that a little to wide for such a small stage? Should I go for a more narrow dispersion? I was looking at the Beyma TD164 ( 60 x 40 degrees), players don't really move on the stage because of the limmited space. What do you guys recommend? |

in either case you will probably find that the wedge angle of that cabinet design is only useful on stages where you can get 0.8m -1.5m+ distance between listener and the monitor. so for smaller stages you would want the angle to face the baffle more directly up towards the listener. otherwise all the sound they will be trying to focus on will be directed towards their knees/waist/drummer. this is especially difficult for taller people on shallow stages.
a wider dispersion hf horn would actually assuage some of those issues a little but the right wedge angle coupled with a moderate focus (say 60x40 or 60 x 60 conical) will work better on small stages with not much depth/distance between monitor and musician. |
